Miami Featured Hotels

Miami sits on the southeastern tip of Florida, a subtropical city where the United States meets the Caribbean and Latin America. It is best known for the sand and Art Deco glamour of Miami Beach, but the wider metropolitan area is a sprawl of distinct districts - the high-rise skyline of Brickell, the Cuban heart of Little Havana, the street art of Wynwood and the Mediterranean-style village of Coral Gables. Warm weather year-round, palm-lined boulevards and turquoise water give the city a relaxed, sun-soaked rhythm that draws visitors from across the world.

The city's culture is unmistakably Latin, with Spanish heard as often as English and a food scene that runs from Cuban sandwiches and cafecito to ceviche, stone crab and modern fine dining. Wynwood's warehouse walls have become an open-air gallery of murals, South Beach delivers world-famous nightlife, and the calendar is packed with events like Art Basel and Miami Music Week. Beyond the beaches, the city is a gateway to the Everglades, the Florida Keys and day trips out onto Biscayne Bay.

Miami is more spread out than most US cities, and while the Metromover and Metrorail serve the downtown core, many visitors rely on rideshares, the South Beach trolley or a rental car to move between districts. The climate is warm and humid all year, with a hot, rainy summer-to-autumn hurricane season and a dry, pleasant winter that marks the peak tourist period - making the cooler months from November to April the most comfortable time to explore.
